Across the Great Divide

I've been walkin' in my sleep

Countin' troubles 'stead of countin' sheep

Where the years went I can't say

I just turned around and they've gone away

I've been siftin' through the layers

Of dusty books and faded papers

They tell a story I used to know

And it was one that happened so long ago

Chorus:

It's gone away in yesterday

Now I find myself on the moutainside

Where the rivers change direction

Across the Great Divide

Now, I hear the owl a-callin'

Softly as the night was fallin'

With a question and I replied

But he's gone across the borderline

Chorus

The finest hour that I have seen

Is the one that comes between

The edge of night and the break of day

It's when the darkness rolls away

Chorus Twice
